The Quantitative Analysis Research (QuARC) Core Facility is a unique resource dedicated to discovering and investigating the rich patterns found in human movement and physiology.
Annual Nonlinear Analysis Workshop: July 22-26, 2024
Every year the Core holds a workshop on the nonlinear analysis of human movement. Its purpose is to introduce research scientists, clinicians, educators, and students to a variety of nonlinear methods. For more information please visit the Workshop’s webpage.
